0.34 is the one available on FC6.  I just built the 2007-03-29
snapshot, compiled the ngspice17-models, copied */*.so to a lib
directory, pointed LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that lib directory, and I can
now load the spice netlists with which I was playing earlier in the
day.

>From you comment, it sounds as if I may not have needed to compile the
ngspice17-modles, and perhaps I could have loaded my spice netlists
directly.  (They are extremly simple at the present time, consisting
of an independent voltage source, a capacitor, and a resistor -- as I
said, I'm starting off _very_ simple today).
